Growth hormone release-inhibiting factor, SST, SMS, SMST, GHIH.
Somatostatin (also known as growth hormone inhibiting hormone (GHIH) or
somatotropin release-inhibiting hormone (SRIF) is a peptide hormone that
regulates the endocrine systemand affects neurotransmission and cell
Introduction
proliferation via interaction with G-protein-coupled somatostatin receptors and
inhibition of the release of numerous secondary hormones. Somatostatin has two
active forms produced by alternative cleavage of a single preproprotein: one of
14 amino acids, the other of 28 amino acids.
Somatostatin Synthetic is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing
